So far this season I've been slightly disappointed with the series. Very slightly. The first season was perfect. I would give them all 9s or 10s. This season it is about 8-9s. Still good episodes and stories, it just felt off. This was a close return towards what I love. The Jordan story was very well done. Eli had a vision that his part in the case would be a hindrance and a liability. The changes in Jordan have been very well done. Eli's lead paint case was great. Sadly it didn't go to the supreme court like in the vision. that would have been a great story line to follow.

The ending was fantastic. Loved Jordan leaving and the revelation that Jordan owns the building. The satisfying smile on Jordan's face as he got to kick Posner and Klein out of the building spoke volumes. Their little power play failed and karma worked out in the end. I'm sure we will see them some more later. They will be opposing council a lot.

Now who will stay and who will go? I know Taylor and Eli are for sure. Matt Dowd is with Taylor so he will most likely stay. Keith Bennet was hired by Jordan and seems to have a strong moral compass so he might be very loyal to Jordan and stay.

The vision at the end with Maggie i think is a red herring. Maggie is the super moral lawyer. She is like Eli. Either Posner and Klein force her to come over to the dark side, she leaves to distance herself from falling in love with Eli, or the vision is false. His vision of the supreme court case didn't happen. He didn't get to go to the supreme court. The visions are a sign of possibilities, not set in stone.

Overall a great great episode. Can't wait to see the next one.moreless

- Eli: Is everything okay, sir? Jordan: No, Eli. My position as managing partner of my own firm is at stake, and it appears the attorneys I've chosen to defend me against allegations I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder can't seem to agree on a time of day. Taylor: It's 11:19. Eli: Give or take few minutes. Edit
- Jordan: (to Eli and Taylor) Both of you, make your case in one sentence or less. Ladies and daughters first. Edit
- Matt: In court, you're his daughter, Taylor. And any argument you make to a judge is going to lose credibility because of that. Taylor: You sound like Eli. Matt: And if he and I actually agree, that should tell you something. Edit

- Eli: And now for something completely different... Referencing to the popular TV Show Monty Python's The Flying Circus.The Flying Circus is a British comedy sketch show which entails the performers doing various random acts throughout each episode, thus, the now popular catchphrase being announced by John Cleese during the beginning of each show "And now for something completely different."
